Moved mom into Solstice Senior Living in Lee's Summit Missouri in Feb 2026. Felt it would be a good fit for her: cook all meals for her, provide transportation to Dr's appts within 15 miles of building, and extra support when needed (housekeeper to come once a week). More support offered at an additional fee per service charge. Free on-site laundry room, restaurant style dining for meals, or take a to-go box meal back to your room.<br>Well, at $3,100 per month (plus $3,000 non-refundable deposit) we hoped it would be the experience she paid for, however we were sadly mistaken. Where to begin......<br>After moving mom in we are told transportation is only offered to dr appts on Tues-Thur 10am-2pm. Mom has over 10+ drs, and this wouldnt cover just her own appts ,let alone anyone elses in the building. Only one cook prepared food worth eating, and serving portions are barely big enough for toddlers. If you have visitors they will now be charged $15 per person to eat with you. If you brought your meal back to your apt, they charged you $4 each time. Meals take over an hr every time by the time you find a seat, get your order taken, recieve, and then eat your meals. The laundry rooms only offered 2 washers and 2 dryers per wing with approximately 10-15 apts. Laundry was difficult to be able to find times when it wasnt being used, unless you dont mind doing laundry in the middle of the night. Staff turnover is a real struggle. There were weeks when there was no housekeeper to come into my mother's apt at all. After 3 months of living there, my mother had enough and put in her month notice to vacate. Would have liked to speak to a manager, however they didnt have one at the time per staff report.<br>We had a rental pod delivered and wanted it to be parked 20 ft from her 1st floor apt patio door. Apt building maintenance man wouldnt allow us to have it parked there, even after speaking with regional director Tasha. So we were forced to have it parked completely across the compass. Took us 3 days to drag all her belongings through the entire first floor in front of everyone to get it to the pod. Solstice you have let our entire family down, even worse you let down my grieving mother. Be cautious if you choose to have your loved ones move into Lees Summit Solstice Senior Living. #WhatACompleteWasteOfTime
